There was once this weak boy.

Hello blog. I’ve not exactly been "faithful" to you latley. Forgive me? Thanks blog, your always so nice.
I like knowing what tommorrow brings. I’ve always enjoyed having some-what of an idea of things I can expect in the hours that approach me. However, on occasion, that does not follow through. Things come up. Life is life. That is to say "life-happends" The things that you don’t expect are what some define life as. Life is just sundry events one to another that accumulate until you die. All being directed, in some way, by you; God; or extenuating circumstances.
That is a rather long intro to something referring to forgiveness.
But, as I would hope many of you understand, there is context to everything. There is something behind all events. Things that we don’t know confuse us, but, when we are enlightented to said things it’s the medium for synizizing all our information. All things in context.
There is pre-face.
So, Paul, 1st century missionary is chillin out at this cool place called Ephusus ahh, about 54AD when he was writing some of his friends in a church he started in Cornith. He was writing them because he loved them, and, just to follow through with what he had started. After all, he spent a year and half there just starting the church...So, Not to long after that Paul gets an oral report from one of his conpanians, just so turned out things wasn’t going so well...He decieded to write a 2nd letter. This is 1st Corinthians.Around the same time he wrote the 2nd letter (1st corinthians) He sends a real pal, Timothy, to "check-up" all that jazz down there in Cornith, but, sends him the long route, by land.
Paul gets anxious and unsettled and he just deciedes he just needs to leave and go there himself! So, he takes the short route, by sea.Paul gets there, and WOOO WEE! They didn’t greet him well at all. It was a "painful" visit and he doesnt stay long.Well guess what? After Paul leaves it wasn’t too long afterwards maybe a couple months then Timothy shows up...They treated him pretty rotten too. It just so happend that it was one guy in particular that was pretty mean to Ol’ Timmy!Well, Timothy hits the road quick! Goes back to his mentor, Paul.Paul writes another letter...Letter 3- "Letter of tears" In reguard to Timothys mistreatment, and how he was also poorly accepted.He hands it to his friend Titus, said here bro, take this to them... Hopefully we can get things cleared up.
Paul makes sure Titus knows they’re leaving Ephesus and should meet at up afterwards.Pauls going along hit’s one city asked if Titus was there, sure enough Titus didn’t make it that city. Goes along trotts right ahead to Macedonia and BAM! Meets up with his ol’ pal Titus.
Then, gets another oral report on how Cornith is doing. Specifically on how they treated the "offender" in reguards to Timothy. While in Macedonia Paul rights letter four..."2nd Corinthians....Paul wrote 4 letters to Cornith. 2 made it in the Bible. 1st and 2nd Corinthians.But, 1st is really 2nd and 2nd is really 4th.Get it?What brings all this together is what Paul said to the church in how to treat the "Offender"
2nd Corinthians Chapter 1 verse 5 If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you, to some extent—not to put it too severely. 6 The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient for him. 7 Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8 I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. 9 The reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. 10 If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
Where does the depth of love stop? Where is the authiniticy in relationship fade? Can one do something to another so horrible that they would never be able to forgive them again? It has happend, but, not without pride.I’m not prideful. I’ll say it again. I’m so not prideful. I’ll do anything for anyone. No one that comes from what I’ve came from can stand in pride...I’ve lived in a trailer park.I’ve paid for gas in coins.I’ve gone without food.But, I do know what EBT is by experience, not by "put-down".I didn’t have the ideal family.I can’t say I did great in highschool.My parent’s are divorced.What gain do I have in boasting? I’m weak. I’m the frailty. I’ve been a liar. I’ve known my listeners.
Insomuch, as well we listen, be able to hear just the same. Not all listening is hearing. Hear that forgiveness is a matter of heart. It takes some time to develop for some. Takes some time to be prepared. But, know, for some, they’ll always forgive.To forgive and know that in the very act. You say to another, "I love you, I love you this much"In that very act, you say, "I hold no wrongs against you anymore."In this very act. You could no more explicitly exemplify anyone but, the One who had already forgiven ....Know your actions are manifestations of your heart. Put simply, everything you do is everything you are. Everything you are is everything you do, then, what is left for anything you say you are? Who am I?
Take your guesses and place them with words, but, know at the end of the day, It’s what I did that showed you, me.
Whom does anyone know?---In time, and love.
